Q4sim wrote:Hey everyone,
Sorry for posting yet another thread but I think my post in the main thread has accidentally gone unnoticed due to the volume of posts.
As some of you are aware, my wife is soon going to apply for a spouse Visa from Pakistan and inshallah I will send her all of the supporting documents within 2 weeks time.
I just have a few things which I need to clarify:-
1) As the sponsor, what is an acceptable amount of savings. In other words, what is the minimum that is recommended? I havent seen it state a figure anywhere but i'm hoping I can get an answer based on everybodys experience
I will ask each question in this thread one at a time.
Thanks again for your help everyone

Well the guideline for the ECO'S on the UK visas site clearly states that any such housing survey report must be carried out by a qualified body which is independent of the applicant and the sponsor so i assume that it is not a good idea to provide anything which could lead to an unwanted result as the ECO could be suspicious of the facts written in such letter or report regarding the house inspection.I have a letter from my dad detailing the measurements of each room in the house and have taken photos
Well i wanted to make a point(the point highlighted in red) that if housing inspection report has to be included in an application then it must be carried out by a qualified body independent of the applicant and sponsor instead of doing it ourselves!!! as the ECO would most likely to accept the one which will have been carried out by a third party and on the contrary the one which is done by sponsor is less likely to make any impact and could raise possible concerns and doubts over its authenticity regardless of the residential housing or the accommodations in the multiple occupancy.mrlookforward wrote:This is only relevant in multiple occupancy accomodations.

Whats the proof that they are the photos of your property and not somewhere else? This is just a silly idea which has no value according to guidlines issued to ECOs. Other members are welcome to provide their input. I am not going to make any further comments on this issue.
thanks
It can only prove what the colour of the walls is.
Thats not exactly truth. You can now easily check whether the photos that you have took are yours and not some millionaires mansion. Go to Googlemaps and type your postcode and look in the street search and you will see a photo of your own house. The ECO uses thisto sometime check up. Take it from me.@Mrlookforward - Your right that the phots could be of anybodys house so wouldnt add anything to the application.
If accompanied by a letter or inspection report, then I think it will do the application no harm.
